Abstract
Purpose: To present a case of Plexiform Leiomyoma found in the soft palate, the first ever documented subsite, as well as formulate management protocols by inferring relationships to similar lesions. Method: Case study and review of English literature on plexiform leiomyoma along with various benign plexiform lesions Result: We report a case of plexiform leiomyoma, which was found in the soft palate after the patient presented incidentally with concurrent hypertrophic tonsillitis having signs of odynophagia, sleep disordered breathing, and chronic sore throat. After bilateral tonsillectomy and complete excisional biopsy of soft palate mass, the entity was found, and through literature review of similar tumors, managed correctly. Conclusion: The head and neck region is a rare subsite for a benign plexiform lesion. The most common plexiform lesion is the plexiform neurofibroma in the head and neck. The case discusses the different benign plexiform lesions in the head and neck region, and plexiform leiomyoma found in all regions of the body, to help draw possible insight on management as well as review the differences between these lesions.
